FAQs

What is the purpose of the MIPS system?

MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is designed to allow the helmet to slide slightly during an impact, helping to reduce the rotational force transferred to the brain.

Can I replace the liner?

Yes, the 2-piece V2 XSTATIC liner is removable and can be washed or replaced if it wears out over time.

Is this helmet suitable for full-face protection?

No, the A3 is an open-face trail helmet. It provides extended coverage for trail and enduro riding but does not offer chin-bar protection.

Does the visor interfere with goggles?

The visor is adjustable to three positions, allowing you to easily store goggles underneath it when not in use.

How often should I replace the helmet?

It is recommended to replace any helmet after a significant impact, or every 3-5 years due to natural material degradation.

Troubleshooting

Visor does not stay in place

Check if the magnetic mounting points are clear of debris and that the smart shear screws are fully seated.

Helmet feels unstable or rocks

Adjust the rear V3 fit system height levels and ensure the dial is tightened sufficiently to provide a secure fit around the circumference of the head.

Sweat dripping into eyes

Remove and clean the Sweatglide strip; ensure it is properly snapped into the front portion of the liner.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Comprehensive head coverage extending to the lower skull
  • Industry-leading MIPS safety integration
  • High-end comfort with XSTATIC liner and Sweatglide system
  • Easy-to-use magnetic Fidlock buckle
  • Highly compatible with various goggles and glasses

Cons

  • Premium pricing reflects its advanced design
  • Higher profile shell due to extended coverage may feel bulky to some
  • Requires proper adjustment to achieve optimal fit

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best fit, adjust the TLD V3 precision fit dial at the rear while the helmet is placed level on your head. Utilize the three height adjustment positions to ensure the cradle sits snugly at the base of your skull without causing pressure points. The helmet is designed to be highly compatible with various optics; ensure the visor is set to the middle position if you intend to store goggles underneath it. For care, remove the XSTATIC liner and Sweatglide insert periodically and wash with mild soap and water. Ensure the shell is wiped down with a soft cloth; avoid using harsh solvents or chemicals that could degrade the helmet's protective materials.
